Need help identifying my bike's year

[Tobey58]

Hi there! I have owned this bike for a few months now, and recently gave it a refresh. The previous owner said that he didn't know the year, but he thought that it could be 1938-1940..... So does anyone here know? I hate having to tell people that I don't know when they ask.

Thanks for the help

I should also note that the badge says "ridewell by goodwell", but its not the original to the bike. It was put on because the holes lined up

Its a post war Cleveland Welding bike (CWC) from around 46/47

Thanks for the ID! I did a quick google search and it looks like you are correct, its a post-war "roadmaster" my CWC. In fact, I believe that my bike looked like this one as new. The inside of the tank had that exact maroon paint left on it
